Summary

  • Remove 5 irrelevant GSAP references (scrolltrigger, plugins, react, frameworks, utils) — HyperFrames has no scroll, no frameworks, no interactive plugins
  • Remove shader-setup.md + shader-transitions.md (611 lines) — duplicated by @hyperframes/shader-transitions package
  • Remove marker-highlight.md + examples.md (304 lines) — JS library docs superseded by css-patterns.md which is deterministic and GSAP-driven
  • Trim CLAUDE.md to dev-only (204 → 50 lines) — product docs belong in skills, not project instructions
  • Deduplicate house-style.md — point to typography/motion references instead of repeating rules
  • Fix contradictory contrast threshold — house-style said 5:1, validate enforces WCAG AA (4.5:1). Now defers to validate.
  • Fix 6 doc gaps surfaced by eval agents — IIFE global name, async fetch conflict, <div><span> in css-patterns, bgColor clarification, data-start on root element
  • Update init templates — gsap skill description and pattern examples match trimmed scope

Impact

Before After Reduction
Skills (markdown) 5,230 lines 3,714 lines 29%
CLAUDE.md 204 lines 50 lines 75%
Files deleted 9

Eval results (10 agents, 5 before/after pairs)

Pair Before (main skills) After (trimmed) Result
1. Shader transition 200+ lines manual WebGL boilerplate 5-line HyperShader.init() call After better — simpler, no lint warning
2. Marker highlights CSS+GSAP (ignored JS library) CSS+GSAP (only option) Tie — same approach, same output
3. Product launch 16 eases, Bricolage + Libre Baskerville 13 eases, Space Grotesk + DM Serif Display Tie — both excellent
4. Audio-reactive <script src> workaround, used gsap.utils Sync XHR, used gsap.utils from training data Tie — After cleaner loading
5. Data viz typography 2 font categories, tabular-nums 3 font categories, tabular-nums Tie — After slightly richer

Zero regressions. One clear improvement (shader transitions).

What was NOT removed

  • CSS transition snippets (551 lines) — model can't derive these specifics
  • css-patterns.md (371 lines) — deterministic marker highlighting, needed
  • typography.md (175 lines) — font discovery script + non-obvious rules
  • motion-principles.md (69 lines) — creative principles that inform decisions
  • transcript-guide.md (151 lines) — quality check process unique to this file
  • GSAP core SKILL.md + effects.md — contain real gotchas

Test plan

  • Verify no broken markdown references (python script checked all links)
  • Run 10 eval agents — 5 compositions before/after, side-by-side comparison
  • Confirm shader transitions work via package API (eval 1)
  • Confirm marker highlights work via CSS patterns only (eval 2)
  • Confirm house-style → typography/motion reference chain works (eval 6)
  • Confirm audio-reactive works with fixed sync XHR pattern (eval 7)
  • Visual review of eval compositions in studio

- Remove 5 GSAP references irrelevant to HyperFrames (scrolltrigger,
  plugins, react, frameworks, utils) — no scroll, no frameworks, no
  interactive plugins in video compositions
- Remove shader-setup.md and shader-transitions.md — duplicated by
  @hyperframes/shader-transitions package (packages/shader-transitions/)
- Remove marker-highlight.md and examples.md — JS library docs superseded
  by css-patterns.md (deterministic, GSAP-driven, fully seekable)
- Trim CLAUDE.md to dev-only instructions — move product docs (transcription,
  TTS, player) to skills where they belong
- Deduplicate house-style.md typography/motion sections — point to
  dedicated references instead of repeating rules
- Clean up stale references to deleted files across SKILL.md and catalog.md
- Update gsap skill description to reflect HyperFrames-only scope

Skills: 5,230 → 3,714 lines (29% reduction)
CLAUDE.md: 204 → 50 lines (75% reduction)

Point to css-patterns.md instead of deleted marker-highlight.md.

BG_COLOR was from the old manual setup. Now it's bgColor in the
@hyperframes/shader-transitions init() config.

P0: Document HyperShader as IIFE global name in shader-transitions README
P1: Replace async fetch() with sync XHR in effects.md audio data loading
    (fetch violates synchronous timeline construction rule in SKILL.md)
P1: Change <div> to <span> in css-patterns.md marker highlight patterns
    (<div> inside <p> is invalid HTML, breaks layout in inline contexts)
P2: Clarify bgColor as fallback color in shader-transitions README
P2: Add data-start to Composition Clips table in SKILL.md
    (root composition element needs data-start="0", linter enforces it)

- Remove ScrollTrigger/plugins/React/Vue/Svelte from gsap skill description
- Replace class="clip" with accurate pattern examples in skill intro text
  (class="clip" is still in Key Rules where it belongs)

house-style.md said 5:1 minimum, but hyperframes validate enforces
WCAG AA (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text). Now defers to validate
instead of stating a conflicting number.

Main PR #283 removed the full skills table from CLAUDE.md and moved it
to AGENTS.md. Align with that decision: use main's slim dev-focused
format, fix pnpm→bun references, add one-line /website-to-hyperframes
pointer.

* feat(cli): add website capture with AI-powered DESIGN.md generation

Adds `hyperframes capture <url>` command that extracts a complete design
system from any website, producing AI-agent-ready output:

- Full-page screenshot (lazy-load aware, nav at top)
- AI-generated DESIGN.md via Claude API (colors, typography, elevation,
  components, do's/don'ts) with programmatic asset catalog (136+ assets
  with HTML context annotations like img[src], css url(), link[rel=preload])
- CSS-purged compositions (87% size reduction via PurgeCSS)
- HTML-prettified compositions (one-tag-per-line for AI readability)
- CLAUDE.md + .cursorrules auto-generated for AI agent instructions
- Asset deduplication (srcset variants) and tracking pixel filtering

* feat(cli): add gemini 3.1 pro, playwright screenshots, replica refinement

- switch to gemini 3.1 pro (gemini-3.1-pro-preview) with claude fallback
- playwright for full-page screenshots (fixes puppeteer gradient/fixed bugs)
- replica refinement loop: generate, screenshot, compare, fix
- extract inline svgs (50 max, 10kb each) to assets/svgs/
- extract visible text in dom order for content accuracy
- detect js libraries (gsap, three.js, scrolltrigger) via globals
- improved asset catalog grouping and naming
- reverse-engineered aura system prompt documentation
- comprehensive session handoff doc

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update session handoff with slack research findings

- key finding: team already wants DESIGN.md integration (James, Bin, Vance)
- skills quality matters enormously - must invoke /hyperframes-compose
- eval infrastructure exists (Abhay's dashboards, Teodora's 78-criteria guide)
- templates at templates/ need study before finalizing skill
- session handoff updated with critical next steps

* refactor(cli): simplify capture pipeline, remove replica generator

* feat(capture): add Lottie detection and WebGL shader extraction

Captures Lottie animations via network interception and WebGL shader
source via gl.shaderSource hooking during site crawl. Updates
website-to-hyperframes skill with asset planning guidance, Lottie/shader
reading instructions, and stronger creative direction for scene planning.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(capture): clean pipeline + shader-first creative workflow

Capture pipeline:
- Remove dead deps (puppeteer-extra, stealth plugin, duplicate devDeps)
- Remove duplicate generateAgentPrompt() call (first lied about DESIGN.md)
- Remove dead canvas-to-image code in htmlExtractor (post canvas removal)
- Parallelize image downloads (batches of 5 via Promise.allSettled)
- Fix pre-existing TS error (match[1] guard in font downloader)
- Default capture output to captures/<hostname>

Skill creative overhaul:
- Add shader transition selection to creative director step (Step 4)
- Add shader wiring instructions to engineer step (Step 5)
- Replace 4-line energy modifiers with visual vocabulary table
- Strip rigid scene-by-scene templates from video-recipes.md
- Strip example fill data from scene plan tables
- Add "read transition refs before planning" instruction
- Add creative ambition language ("how the hell did they make this")

* docs: add skill architecture redesign spec

Comprehensive redesign of website-to-hyperframes skill and capture
pipeline based on code review findings and Claude Code architecture
research. Key changes: remove AI auto-generation, restructure skill
into phases, embed shader boilerplate in scaffold, fix color format.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add implementation plan for skill architecture redesign

13-task plan covering: capture pipeline cleanup (remove AI generation,
fix colors to HEX, add asset descriptions, shader-ready scaffold),
skill restructuring (4 phases with artifact gates), and compose skill
Visual Identity Gate upgrade.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(capture): remove AI auto-generation and SDK dependencies

* fix(capture): convert extracted colors to HEX format

* refactor(capture): remove AI key path, add asset descriptions generator

* refactor(capture): update agent prompt, remove hasDesignMd, add asset descriptions

* feat(capture): pre-wire shader transitions in index.html scaffold

* chore: remove duplicate visual-styles.md (canonical is in hyperframes/)

* refactor(skill): rewrite website-to-hyperframes as phase-based orchestrator

* feat(skill): add Phase 1 understand reference

* feat(skill): add Phase 2 design reference with full DESIGN.md schema

* feat(skill): add Phase 3 creative direction reference

* feat(skill): add Phase 4 build reference with inline shader example

* feat(skill): upgrade Visual Identity Gate to produce full DESIGN.md

* docs: update CLAUDE.md skill references for phase-based workflow

* fix: address code review findings

- Remove orphaned `false` argument in generateAgentPrompt call (critical:
  was shifting hasLottie, hasShaders, catalogedAssets parameters)
- Add HSL color handling in rgbToHex via temp element resolution
- Remove build artifact commit section from phase-4-build.md
- Fix __GSAP_TIMELINE reference to __timelines

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(capture): regex double-escape + simplify scaffold + fix asset descriptions

- Double-escape regex in tokenExtractor template literal (\s→\\s, \d→\\d, \(→\\()
  so browser receives valid regex patterns via page.evaluate()
- Simplify index.html scaffold: scene slots + audio + timeline + comment pointing
  to shader-setup.md reference (no broken inline shader boilerplate)
- Fix asset descriptions: use CatalogedAsset.contexts/notes instead of
  nonexistent htmlContext field

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: code review — 16 bugs, 7-step skill rewrite, cleanup

Code fixes:
- snapshot.ts: path traversal guard, browser leak (try/finally), div-by-zero
  for --frames 1, port bind error handling, rAF-based render settle
- index.ts: remove invalid thinkingConfig for gemini-2.5-flash, fix Gemini
  batch/rate-limit comments, fix video preview viewport y-coordinate
- tokenExtractor.ts: remove dead seen[si] dedup code
- gsap.ts: index ALL classes for inline-style transform conflict detection

Skill architecture rewrite (4-phase → 7-step):
- Replace phase-1 through phase-4 with step-1 through step-7
- Add techniques.md (10 visual techniques with code patterns)
- Fix /hyperframes-compose → /hyperframes (skill doesn't exist)
- Fix captures/arc-browser reference → shader-setup.md (file doesn't exist)
- Fix step-7 hardcoded captures/stripe path
- Document Gemini API free/paid rate limits in step-1

Cleanup:
- CLAUDE.md: restore from Stripe-capture overwrite, update 4-phase → 7-step
- .gitignore: add PR #267 skills (hyperframes-animation-map, hyperframes-contrast)
- Delete old phase-*.md, animation-recreation.md, tts-integration.md

* chore: remove dev artifacts, research docs, wrong lockfiles

Remove files that shouldn't ship in this PR:
- docs/research/ (aura analysis, prompt catalogs)
- docs/session-*.md, docs/SESSION-HANDOFF.md (dev notes)
- docs/superpowers/ planning and spec docs
- pnpm-lock.yaml at root and cli (repo uses bun, not pnpm)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(CLAUDE.md): align with main — slim format, add website-to-hyperframes mention

Main PR #283 removed the full skills table from CLAUDE.md and moved it
to AGENTS.md. Align with that decision: use main's slim dev-focused
format, fix pnpm→bun references, add one-line /website-to-hyperframes
pointer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(cli): add capture command to help groups

The capture command was registered in cli.ts but missing from
the help groups, so it wouldn't appear in `hyperframes --help`.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* style: format skill reference files (oxfmt)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: regenerate bun.lock after rebase

The lockfile was stale after rebasing onto main — bun install
--frozen-lockfile failed in CI because new dependencies (google/genai,
patchright, purgecss) weren't reflected in the lockfile.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address PR review comments + improve capture quality

Review fixes (16 comments from jrusso1020 + vanceingalls):
- screenshotCapture: remove Playwright dep, use Puppeteer for all screenshots
- screenshotCapture: dynamic screenshot count based on page height (30% overlap)
- snapshot.ts: fix duration() function-vs-property bug, cross-platform path guard
- htmlExtractor: fix code injection via parameterized evaluate
- index.ts: video preview re-measures position after scroll, .env file loading
- capture.ts: BLOCKED.md on timeout failures
- gsap.ts: 5 inline-style lint tests added (all pass)
- Remove Playwright, patchright deps; @google/genai to optionalDependencies
- Gitignore: generic patterns instead of 20 hardcoded directories
- Remove asset-sourcing.md, video-recipes.md (unused, duplicated guidance)

Capture quality improvements (tested on 10+ websites):
- Color extraction: canvas-based oklch/lab resolver, pixel sampling via
  elementFromPoint, broad sweep for accent colors, gradient/shadow extraction
- Section detection: broadened selectors for div-based layouts, height cap
  to skip page-level wrappers, parent bg walkup for dark sites
- Font downloads: cap 6 per family / 30 total (Cal.com: 306→30)
- CTA detection: text pattern matching + nav context filtering
- Heading text: innerText with whitespace normalization
- Gemini captioning: maxOutputTokens 100→300, .env auto-loading
- .env.example updated with GEMINI_API_KEY docs
- TTS ranking: Kokoro first with Python 3.10+ note

* fix: address PR review comments + improve capture quality

Review round 2 fixes (jrusso1020 + vanceingalls):
- verify/index.ts: add path traversal guard (relative + isAbsolute)
- verify/index.ts: fix sections[i] undefined typecheck error (CI green)
- index.ts: escape Lottie JSON with \u003c to prevent </script> breakout
- step-4-storyboard: fix technique count contradiction (2-3 per beat, not
  across whole video)
- step-6-build: perspective tilt uses gsap.set() instead of CSS transform
  (avoids GSAP overwrite conflict)
- step-1-capture: reorder — command first, Gemini note after (zero-config
  is the default path, API key is optional enhancement)
- step-7-validate: add tsx fallback for snapshot command
- step-3-script: vary hook patterns, don't default to number every time
- assetDownloader: exempt SVGs from 10KB minimum filter (company logos
  like Hubspot/Intel/DHL are 2-6KB; HeyGen capture: 13→75 assets)

Note: adm-zip was NOT removed (reviewer #3) — it's still in
packages/cli/package.json:30. The root package.json had patchright
and purgecss removed, not adm-zip.

Note: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not restored in .env.example — grep confirms
zero references in the entire codebase. The @anthropic-ai/sdk dependency
was removed earlier in this branch.

* refactor(capture): split index.ts (1175 to 566 lines) into modules

Mechanical extraction, zero logic changes.

New files:
- mediaCapture.ts (345 lines): Lottie preview, video manifest/screenshots
- contentExtractor.ts (314 lines): library detection, text, Gemini, asset descriptions
- scaffolding.ts (135 lines): .env loading, project scaffold generation

Also fixes false-positive BLOCKED.md with structural Cloudflare detection.
Tested on 20 websites, pre/post output identical.

* chore(capture): remove --split flow (splitter, verify, cssPurger, purgecss)

The --split feature auto-generates compositions from captured HTML — a
different approach from the /website-to-hyperframes skill workflow where
agents build compositions from scratch using the storyboard.

No skill file, no step reference, and no test session ever used --split.
Removes 923 lines of unused code + purgecss dependency.

Backed up to ~/Desktop/capture-split-backup/ for reference.

* fix(security): add ssrf protection, lottie injection fix, oom guard

- assetDownloader: add isPrivateUrl() guard blocking private IP ranges
  (127.x, 10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x, 169.254.x), cloud metadata
  endpoints, localhost, and non-HTTP schemes
- mediaCapture: fix Lottie JSON injection by loading shell HTML first
  then passing animation data via parameterized page.evaluate()
- index.ts: check Content-Length header before response.buffer() in
  Lottie network interception to avoid OOM on multi-GB responses

* fix(capture): security fixes, timeout, sub-agent dispatch instructions

Security (from miguel-heygen review):
- assetDownloader: export isPrivateUrl() SSRF guard
- htmlExtractor: add isPrivateUrl check before CSS fetch
- mediaCapture: add isPrivateUrl check before Lottie fetch
- mediaCapture: fix previewPage leak (try/finally)
- mediaCapture: skip Lottie files > 2MB for preview (CDP limit)
- contentExtractor: skip images > 4MB for Gemini captioning
- index.ts: check Content-Length before response.buffer() (OOM guard)
- snapshot.ts: register error handler before server.listen()

Capture improvements:
- Default timeout 30s to 120s (Shopify needs ~90s for Cloudflare)
- step-6-build: sub-agent dispatch template with explicit rules:
  pass file PATHS not contents, use local fonts not Google Fonts,
  verify ../assets/ references after each beat

* fix(capture): catalog before DOM mutation, networkidle2, faster Gemini

Critical: asset cataloger now runs BEFORE extractHtml which converts img
src to data URLs. Framer sites like heykuba.com went from 2 to 78 images.

- networkidle2 instead of networkidle0 (unblocks SPAs with WebSockets)
- Lazy-load wait: scroll to bottom, wait for img.complete
- CSS background-image cataloging for Framer/Webflow
- SVG naming: checks class, id, parent, inner text (not just aria-label)
- Gemini batch 5->20, pause 12s->2s (paid tier: 2000 RPM, ~0.001/img)
- maxOutputTokens 300->500, descriptions sorted captioned-first
- Remove tsx fallback from step-1 (reviewer nit, published CLI has it)
